      That’s quite a tough one to answer… why is anything anything!

      Neutrons, Protons and Electrons (or quarks if you want to look closer, or maybe strings if you want to look even closer than that!) are just the building blocks of our universe. That’s what the universe decided we get, so that’s what we get!
